    Which of the following halides is least stable and doubtful existence?

    A) \[C{{l}_{4}}\]                                     

    B) \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    C) \[NiS{{O}_{4}}\]                               

    D)  \[FeS{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: As we go down the group, it becomes difficult to separate electrons present in s sub-shell of valence shell. It is called inert pair effect. The inert pair effect increases as we go down the group. \[\therefore \]\[Pb\] is last member of group\[14.\] \[\therefore \]Among \[C{{l}_{4}},\,\,Ge{{I}_{4}},\,\,Sn{{l}_{4}}\]and\[Pb{{I}_{4}},\,\,Pb{{I}_{4}}\]has doubtful existence.
